The Gingerbread House by Pamela Ackerson

ABOUT THE BOOK

The possibility of ever feeling like a woman again was a distant dream.

Since her husband’s death, Tricia Adams had been fighting to keep a roof over their heads. With the help of the Grandmothers Four, she’d finally gotten everything under control. She was happier and more comfortable than she’d been in years.

When Carol’s son, Eric Elliott, agreed to help renovate the guest house, she soon learned she was missing something in her life.

However, the dashing and handsome man held a bowl full of secrets and complications, and falling in love was not on her to-do list.

MY REVIEW

I chose this book because of the interesting time-travel romance theme.

When a young, independent widow and mother of two is “centralized” with a grumpy handyman by four golden girls, the attraction is strong and his secrets are out of this world.

Trishia owns her own boarding house in the 1890s and with her two children and the Four Grandmothers who live there, her life is full. However, she desperately needs to restore and repair the house and her finances are sparse at best. Luckily, Grandmother Carol’s grandson, Eric, has volunteered to make the repairs for food and lodging. What Carol did not say was how sexy and handsome her grandson is….and that he has an inconceivable secret.

The characters are fun and interesting and the plotline is unique with a compelling take on Eric’s secret profession and a chilling serial killer twist thrown in.

Overall, this is a fast-paced and charming romance with family, feminism, fun, and fantasy.

Thank you to Ms. Ackerson for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
